Jordan Calhoun Joins Gaucho Coaching Staff

"A number of people reached out to me about Jordan and it became pretty clear that she would be a great choice to join our coaching staff," Stumpf said. "Her work-ethic and character are outstanding, and on top of that she was a great college player and understands the game at a very high level."
